as a fater of two young children ....

.... I recon that this might better for the child than putting him in orphanage. The thing that babies need most, (apart from water, food and other stuff that is usually provided in prison to adults), is parents attention. And no, disposable nappies are not a must; although I hope that some nappies and medical care are provided.

Why is this news?

We're locking more women up in the UK than ever before - and no, it's not because they're committing more serious offences, it's because they're receiving short jail terms for crimes which would previously have attracted fines or community punishments, like fraud (as is alleged here), or are being remanded where they would have been bailed. Guess what? A lot of them have kids too. Who are held in British jails. Don't see any fuss being made over that on the Reg.

Yup standard UK practice

You'll find that babies are kept with mothers in the UK wherever possible. Contary to what you read in the daily arse wipes, social workers are very reluctant to split up families unless the child is in danger of physical or emotional risk. Putting a 7 month in prison, is proberbly better than it being in foster care or an orphanage, in fact it may be a wake up call for the parents.

WTITA?

I'm sure all a baby would have to do is say .."Excuse me, I'd like to speak to the governor. It is my poor mama that the judge sentenced to jail as punishment for losing her way and not I. I demand to be allowed to leave".. and they'd be free to go.
